Re the contractor, well, I got him now, and the thing is I got the checkbook. I learned how to use the power of the checkbook to get the job you want with the major renovation I did, but re this guy, I was pretty pissed about the railings since once the brownstoning goes down, you know that scraping and painting railings is going to get black rustoleum all over the steps. Anyway, he is pouting a bit now.
Yeah but still Dona, you said it yourself, his WORKERS are good. If he could get away with a semi-shitty job, he probably would. Shame. I don’t deal with contractors like that and I’ve hired my share of them for the past couple of years on being on a co-op board.
The thing about him, though Kens, is that the brownstoning is really good. They know what they are doing there. I think he is actually surprised that he got a hard time from me about the railings which were gross (the guys just painted OVER THE RUST!!). He poured on the charm thick at first, but that phase appears to be over.
donatella, he is trying to rip you off. Probably sees a woman and figures he can do that. Personally, a bit slimy if you ask me. I wouldn’t hire him, especially seeing that he tried to cut corners. I have no respect for people like that and hate knowing that I have to pay AND stay on top of them.

But I WOULD go so far as to call YOU a bimbo every time YOU cross Atlantic. I would go so far as to call you a bimbo anytime really.

Don’t be so hard on yourself. I wouldn’t go as far as calling you a bimbo every time you cross Atlantic!
